Mobile Tyre Fitting in Greenwich
Greenwich in SE10 runs from the Blackwall Tunnel approach down to the river, with Greenwich High Road and Trafalgar Road always busy. A flat near the tunnel approach is a real headache, so Fast Tyre comes to you instead.
Why Greenwich drivers call Fast Tyre

Greenwich is two places pressed together. Around the town centre, the market, the Cutty Sark and the Old Royal Naval College draw visitors all year, and the A206 squeezes past them as Greenwich High Road, Romney Road and Trafalgar Road. A mile east, the Peninsula is newer: the O2, apartment blocks and offices, all served by the A102 Blackwall Tunnel Approach, which queues towards the tunnel at both ends of the day. Up the hill, Maze Hill and Westcombe Park are quieter residential streets leading towards Blackheath and the A2.
We bring the tyre to the car. A residents' bay in Maze Hill, a car park on the Peninsula, a driveway in Westcombe Park or a side street off Trafalgar Road: the van carries everything, and the job is done where the car is parked. You can expect us 30 to 60 minutes after the call at any time of day or night, and twenty to thirty minutes later the car is ready to go.
The Blackwall Tunnel approach is the road that shapes driving in Greenwich. When it queues, which is often, traffic backs up along the A102 and into the streets around East Greenwich, and a car with a failing tyre caught in that has nowhere to go. In the town centre, the one way streets around the market and the college, and the visitor traffic at weekends, make it just as hard to stop. A tyre that goes anywhere near either is best left where it is, parked legally, while we come to it.
Common tyre problems in Greenwich
The situations we get called out to most often across Greenwich:
Tyre trouble on the tunnel approach
The A102 towards the Blackwall Tunnel has no safe place to deal with a tyre. If one starts to go, leave at the next exit if the car can manage it slowly, stop in a side street or car park and get everyone out of the car and onto the footway. Ring us from there and we come to the car. Do not stop in the tunnel or on its approach.
Puncture on Trafalgar Road
Trafalgar Road takes a steady flow of buses and delivery vans between the town centre and the Peninsula, and nails and screws end up in the gutter. The slow puncture usually shows itself the next morning, and a clean hole in the central tread is often repairable.
Kerbed in the town centre
Parking near the market and the college means tight bays and high kerbs, and an alloy or sidewall caught on one is a common way to end a day out. We check whether it is a cosmetic scuff or real damage before deciding anything.

On the Peninsula, give us the building or car park name and the entrance the van should use, because much of the parking there is underground or behind barriers and the postcode alone does not find the car. If it is in a covered car park the van cannot enter, we agree a spot at street level with you first.
Tyres we fit in Greenwich
Whatever is on the car now, we carry the common fitments on the van and can order anything we do not. Read the size off the sidewall, something like 205/55 R16 91V, or give us the registration and we will match it.
- Car and hatchback tyres. Ordinary car fitments in budget, mid-range or premium, each wheel balanced at the kerb and the pressures checked against the door plate.
- 4x4, SUV and crossover tyres. SUV and 4x4 fitments matched on load index and speed rating, not just the size, because the wrong rating on a heavy car is a safety issue.
- Winter and all-season tyres. Below roughly seven degrees a summer compound goes hard and stops gripping. Look for the three-peak mountain snowflake on the sidewall, which is the tested cold-weather mark.
- Run-flat tyres. We stock and fit run-flats. If one has been driven on deflated it needs replacing, not patching, and the pair on that axle should match.
- Performance and premium brands. Premium fitments from Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli and Goodyear, where the wet grip grade on the EU label is the number worth paying for.
- Budget and mid-range tyres. There is nothing wrong with a budget tyre fitted properly. We will tell you honestly which axle is worth spending on rather than selling you four premiums.
- Van and light commercial. Van and light commercial sizes with the right load rating. We do not fit a car-rated tyre to a van that carries weight.
Most jobs in Greenwich are done the same day, at the address where the car is already parked.

Mobile tyres in Greenwich, FAQs
Only if the van can clear the entrance, and most underground car parks have height barriers it will not pass. If the tyre still holds some air, a slow move up to the surface or a street bay nearby usually solves it, and if it is fully flat, ring first and we work out the best option with you before setting off.
Keep going gently to the next exit if the car will make it, then stop in the first side street or car park and leave the car by the kerbside doors. Do not stop in the tunnel or on the approach. Ring us with where you are and we fit the tyre there.
Normally 30 to 60 minutes after the call, at any hour, in SE10 and on the SE3 side. On the Peninsula, give us the building name and the entrance the van should use.
Yes. The car stays in its bay while the van finds a legal place to stand nearby. Tell us the street and the nearest junction when you ring.
Yes, every day including weekends and bank holidays. On a busy Saturday near the market, if the car can be moved safely, a quieter street a few minutes away is often quicker for both of us than working in the visitor traffic, and we agree the spot with you on the phone.
Not always. If the nail is in the central part of the tread and the tyre has not been driven flat, it can usually be repaired to BS AU 159. Damage near the shoulder or in the sidewall means a new tyre. We check the inside of the tyre before deciding.

Really responsive and pleasant too. I WhatsApped in the morning rush hour, got an honest quote, an updated ETA with traffic, and he changed my tyre. Would highly recommend.
